Does anyone else think that us autistic people are not really suited to the regimented 9-5? Ive always struggled with work but the thing is im not adversed to hard work, I just cant cope with the "norm" of regimented shifts and work hours, plus bosses expectations of me which I never understand and the pressure of constant social interaction all day
For me being a writer from home would be my ideal job. I write a lot, mostly articles but I wonder if I should make a go of writing a novel. I started one about 3 years ago but havnt written in it for a while. I am thinking of writing short stories for magazines too
I wonder if us autistic people are more suited to creative jobs where we can be our own boss. Does anyone else every find this?
I struggle with routine; big time. My life lacked structure; after I graduated from Uni. And, then, my life went upside down.
I relate, uni was fine but then 9 to 5 destroyed me in many ways. I don't have a strict routine although I will be on youtube watching interesting videos most days, so that is my own pattern that I tend to do. oh and brush my teeth and wash off course
Yes I think having your own routine at home is really important, so you dont get lost in the day. Its hard to do though
